The Sultan OF Morocco continues to exist.
and SO the Morocco complication which Europe
expects Is delayed. The hopes OF the EN-
peror's complete recovery and Of the conse-
quent avoidance OF all complications Is based
upon the fact that he has shown himself to his
people on horseback. Not too much impor-
lance must be attached to this fact, as the Sultan
has unlimited pluck and would endure much

thing during his previous illness. and thereby
aggravated his trouble considerably. We may

outbreak of civil war Offering an excuse for
interference to the interested powers. Mean

and many interesting tales are told OF him.

The latest rumor about poor worried little
Bulgaria Ia that the Czar oontemplates the
formal renunciation Of the Berlin treaty. and
that whom no longer bound by its hamperinR
clauses his intention Is to march into the
country and punish every one who has stirred
up his wrath. The fact Is that the energetic
action OF Monsieur Stambuloff, who Yields the
power conferred on Prince Ferdinand, has
shown true bulgarian grit and has made 1t
difficult for Russia to carry out her policy Of
quietly sowing disaffection among the people.
1t Is difficult to hire tools to do work whom
tools are In danger Of being shot for their
pains as soon "a taken. plot against Prince
Ferdinand has been unearthed. but that Is not
very important in q country whore the first
business OF every self-respsctinR patriot Is to

no position to object to Sir Charles on moral
grounds. The desire Of the Sultan's heart Is
to have England got out Of Egypt to settle the
Bulgarian question without getting into row
with Russia. and then to be allowed to enjoy
life In his own peculiar Turkish way. There Is
little hope Of either desire being gratif1ed.

unhappily. can be told Of his son. The reports
from Baveno declare that the climate
agrees with him. but that he grows
worse. The respondent tone Of his physi-
clans reports prove his condition to be
most serious. There Is much indignation
among the Germans. who do not share the
the Princes confidence in the Englishman. DR..
